Announcing New International Collaboration!
Fashion Fights Poverty is happy to announced it's first on-going international collaboration with Shalom and Sewing Cooperative, two initiatives that are part of "Ensemble Pour La Difference", an incubator and innovation consultant based in Congo, Bukavu, South Kivu Province.
FFP will be working with the founder of Shalom and "Ensemble Pour la Difference" to help expand Shalom and support the establishment of the sewing cooperative.
A portion of the proceeds from the gala will go toward this burgeoning collaboration.
About Shalom: Shalom specializes in the small-scale design and dyeing of plain cloth to produce a colorful material local people call Buisa. The workshop is located in Mudaka in the territory of KABARE in South Kivu. The business was started in February 2014 by Narcisse Aghanze Bulonza, who studied IT and entrepreneurship at University in Kampala in Uganda. She is also trained in techniques for dyeing African cloth.
About Sewing Cooperative: As part of a long term plan, a sewing cooperative will be established in addition to the textile dyeing project. The sewing cooperative, located in North Kivu, will build skills initially by making simple products and will eventually be able to create garments and use new skills to earn a living and re-integrate into society.
Michael Romeo Group Sponsors FFP's 2015 After-Party
Following the gala, The Michael Romeo Group will sponsor the After Party at Dirty Martini (1223 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC). After-Party is only open to FFP gala attendees.
Fashion Fights Poverty is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization that raises awareness for initiatives that encourage and support creative, effective, and sustainable means of challenging poverty. FFP believes that the industries of fashion, textiles, and design offer unique and effective opportunities for designers, artisans, and consumers alike to contribute to the alleviation of poverty through trade, skill building, community empowerment and consumer awareness.
